<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 8309951, member: 15199&quot;]I think you hit it spot on.&nbsp; Why else would so many crack open a&nbsp; MS62 BN slab and resend it through hoping for an upgrade&nbsp; to a higher $$$ grade. The coin stays the same&nbsp; color. Now I will get the complaints as I would feel the same way as to hoping for a better grade, but I have NEVER cracked one out and sent it to regrade or try another grading company based on Grade and/or color. I think ancients have mainly missed this, but I have seen several on the market that are TPGed and I predict it will gradually follow the general coin market habits. Since they were taken private last year, I expect their directions might change.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://frontofficesports.com/collectors-universe-sale-finalized/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://frontofficesports.com/collectors-universe-sale-finalized/" rel="nofollow">https://frontofficesports.com/collectors-universe-sale-finalized/</a></p><p>&quot;</p><p>Collectors Universe and an investor group led by entrepreneur and sports card collector Nat Turner have come to an amended merger agreement following the initial announcement of a $700 million deal in late November 2020. </p><p><br /></p><p><b>The new deal values Collectors Universe at approximately $853 million</b>.
